Improve viewing large text output

[rebornix]

Type: Feature Request

While experimenting with LLMs in Jupyter notebook, I often need to validate the text output (custom prompt, documents retrivied, etc). I like the fact that it's rendered in a scrollabe output and I can search text in it. However in order to read through them line by line, I found myself repeatedly:

• Click in the output
• Cmd+A
• Cmd+C
• Cmd+N to open a new text editor
• Cmd+V

Before we have the scrollable output support, we render a command "open in text editor" in the output which can be really convinient, but I'm not sure I want to sacrifice scrollable output for it though.

We can now right click on a large text output and open directly in a text editor

I encountered microsoft/vscode-jupyter#15639 but I believe it's due to my setup. Taking the verified label off for someone else to verify.

I'm confused on how the feature works.
I have set up a Conda environment on my Windows machine and run a notebook with a single cell:

for i in range(1000):
    print(5 * i)

I see the following behaviour:
If I run the notebook, close the notebook, and open it again, then I can right-click and view the output in a text editor. ✅
If I change the 5 to a 6, run the notebook, and try to right-click and view the output in a text editor, nothing happens. 🐛

Should be fixed now.
